Hi All, I was wondering if someone could explain an assignment operator that I'm seeing in some code. As an example:
>>> errors = False >>> errors |= 3 >>> errors 3 >>> errors |= 4 >>> errors 7 The '|=' operator, I read should be like a = a | b, but this appears to add the two numbers as long as it's more than the previous: >>> errors |= 5 >>> errors 7 Is there anywhere I can read up more on this and the other assignment operators and what/how they work. I got this off http://rgruet.free.fr/PQR27/PQR2.7.html I'm using: % python Python 2.7.5 (default, Sep 25 2014, 13:57:38) [GCC 4.8.3 20140911 (Red Hat 4.8.3-7)] on linux2 Thanks for any help in advance.
